 Queue workers can take an optional options object to specify:
   - `specId` - specifies the spec type for this worker. This is important when creating multiple specs. Defaults to `null` which uses the default spec.
-  - `numWorkers` - specifies the number of initial workers to run simultaneously for this node.js thread. Defaults to 1 worker, and can be updated once the queue has been initialized (see the [Dynamic Worker Count](#dynamic-worker-count) section).

   - `sanitize` - specifies whether the `data` object passed to the processing function is sanitized of internal keys reserved for use by the queue. Defaults to `true`.
   - `suppressStack` - specifies whether the queue will suppress error stack traces from being placed in the `_error_details` of the task if it's rejected with an Error.
